Microwave Blackberry Jam

Our garden is empty, apart from some blackberries. The bush is fairly well established, so produced enough for us to make some jam. As we only have half a kitchen at the moment I followed a recipe to make it in the microwave and it worked really well. As well as the blackberries in the garden we picked some locally and ended up making 11 jars! 

• 500g summer fruts

• 500g jam sugar

• Briefly blend the fruit and place in a large microwave-proof bowl with the sugar. Microwave on High for 3 mins, then stir well. Microwave for a further 3 mins on High, stirring after. Finish with a further 2 mins, then pour into warm sterilised jars. Once bottled and cool the jam is ready to eat. Will keep in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. Keep in the fridge once opened.
